On Saturday 5th January the Lord Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire Mr Hugh Duberly presented letters of commendation to 20 young people from Cambridgeshire. The young people had all gained Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards during the last twelve months and their achievements were recognised at a presentation hosted by the Lord Lieutenant at Hinchingbrooke School in Huntingdon.

Award achievers, parents, leaders and distinguished guests attended the presentation which was organised by the Cambridgeshire County Council and supported by Cambridge City Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council, South Cambridgeshire District Council and Huntingdon District Council.

Guests were treated to speeches from some of the recipients which highlighted some of the activities they had took part in and included a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and a residential project to help orphans in India.
